Configuring Cursor Themes

Note: Make sure the file Template:Filename is called by your window manager. You can force it to get loaded by running '$ xrdb ~/.Xdefaults' before loading your window manager (for example from Template:Filename if you use startx). Refer to your window manager documentation for details.

Alternatively, you can create a symlink "default" in Template:Filename, which should points to your installed cursor theme:

$ ln -s /usr/share/icons/foobar/ ~/.icons/default

If you rather want to change the cursor globally (e.g. used by graphical login managers like kdm, gdm, ...), or if you experience problems with above method (for example in Firefox), create the Template:Filename directory (only if needed):
